Delanie Walker

After seven years in San Francisco as Vernon Davis' backup, Walker enjoyed a productive first season in Tennessee as the starter. Despite being undersized at 6-0, 248, Walker proved effective in the r...

Walker had seven catches on 10 targets for 43 yards during Sunday's loss to the Colts. He finishes the season with 63 catches on 106 targets for 890 yards, a team record for most receiving yards by a tight end, ESPN.com reports.

Primarily a receiving specialist due to his lack of size, Walker caught nine passes of 20-plus yards on only 39 targets. Walker struggled with drops, though, leading qualified receivers in drops-per-target with eight.
Nonetheless, he's the top tight end in Tennessee this season after signing a four-year deal. The Titans did not use the departed Jared Cook in a traditional tight-end role last season, often splitting him out wide. Perhaps that bodes well for Walkerís prospects as he was best used running the wheel route out of the backfield with the 49ers. Ultimately, Walker needs better quarterback play than the Titans have seen in recent years to have a major impact.

2011

Undersized for a tight end at 6-0, Walker has done a nice job since converting from wide receiver. He fit the role of backup quite well, grabbing 29 catches for 331 yards last season. It would take an injury for him to deserve fantasy consideration, but Vernon Davis hasnít missed a game the last three years.

2010

Walker managed to catch 21 passes for 233 yards during the 2009 season as Vernon Davis' backup, and is a pretty decent receiving threat for a backup tight end. Barring injury to Davis, don't expect Walker to top his 2009 numbers.

2009

Walker will back-up Vernon Davis at tight end and see time on special teams as a kick returner.

2008

Walker is slated as the backup TE for the 49ers, however, may provide some fantasy value as a backup fantasy TE.

2007

Battling Billy Bajema and Zach Hilton to be the backup tight end behind Vernon Davis.

2006

Selected in the sixth round of this year's draft. May see some time at wide receiver, tight end and F-Back, but won't produce nearly enough to warrant a spot on a fantasy squad.
